When to start ART?
?-----------------------------


I need your advise.  I am a human rights activist in Gaborone.  I believe 
nutrition plays an important role in the lives of people living with 
Aid/hiv.  But where the Government has taken a decision to give ART to help patients, wouldn't it be better for the patients to get rx as soon as it 
becomes clear from the tests that they need treatment immediately, say, when the CD4 count is low.  I am asking this because at the referral hospital, patients are always told to go back and wait for months, apparently, because the list is too long?  Some patients die, weeks later.  Dont you think this is murder?

Dear Deon,
First of all, you need to get in touch with your
brother's medical specialist. The way you described
his situation, he needs some biomedical help. Do not
lose time and opportunity of getting some help. Get
the help of the nearest social worker in your place
who can help you with some referrals where you can get
some answers to your concerns...
